The paintings at the Beaverbrook Art Gallery are troubled. Danger is brewing and they can't solve the problem alone.

At night, the residents of the paintings at a famous art gallery enjoy visiting each other. Mona Dunn, the subject of a wonderful portrait, learns that the gallery director's son, Sargent Singer, will be visiting for the summer. It's imperative that the young artist doesn't discover the secret lives of the works of art. But the young man catches Mona in a painting other than her own. Enchanted by this mystery, Sargent befriends Mona and, together, they discover that all is not well at the gallery. Will the two friends save the gallery without revealing the hidden lives of Mona and her friends?
